Shipwreck exhibition

with Aoife – 07876662942 – to avoid disappointment.

Somewhere in the tropics between the Port of Indecision and Southwest of Disorder you’ll find that murder meets mayhem and the intrigue begins! While most vacation at Margaritaland, an exclusive tropical resort, to get away from their troubles, for one unfortunate soul, it will mean the end of their travels all together. Has the lottery winner’s luck run out? Will it be the bartender who has served his last drink? Is the honeymoon over for two lovebirds before it nearly began? Or will the stars collide for one Hollywood star? At the resort, the guilty will mingle among the guests and everyone will be left with the task of deciphering between the facts and falsehoods that plague this paradise in order to make a killer pay for their crime. The night itself will be a criminal concoction that will have you searching for much more than your long lost shaker of salt.
